On this page we discuss varied issues surrounding not just property investment, but the bigger picture of wealth creation. This is aimed at those not just living in Sydney, but also Australia wide, not just those expanding their investment portfolio but also those entering the property investment market. We are focusing not only on Sydney real estate, but the current hotspot, Brisbane real estate and of course National property portfolios.

Click below to listen to Susan Farquhar's chat with Perth Tonight's Chris Ilsley raising the question; 'Should our laws change to ensure that tenants feel they also have a home, even if it’s not technically theirs?'

The latest Census figures show that more and more Australians are renting with the tenant population now at 30.9%.

The median household rent has increased from $285 - $335 per week since the last Census.

As such, our laws should change too, reflecting current trends and ensuring that tenants feel they also have a home, even if it’s not technically theirs.

Policy changes like longer lease terms and pet ownership, align with this sense of home, which is so important for couples, families and mental health.

As long as the tenant commits to returning the property to its original state at the end of the lease, minor changes should also be acceptable.
